犹太复国主义者之于犹太人，正如激女之于女性。

Zionists to Jews is what radfem is to women.

We
stand with Ukraine,
stand with Palestine,
stand with Taiwan,
stand with East Turkestan,
stand with Tibet,
stand with Kosovo
…
We will always stand with the fight for liberation and self-determination by every single oppressed country and nation in the world!

我们
坚决支持乌克兰
坚决支持巴勒斯坦
坚决支持台湾
坚决支持东突厥斯坦
坚决支持图博
坚决支持科索沃
……
我们永远坚决支持一切被压迫国家和民族争取解放与自决的斗争！

With Fetterman’s refusal to co-sponsor M4A and now this, it’s safe to say that he’s just another Obama, who pretended to be progressive to win the election but only showed their true color as an extreme centrist after assuming office. Truly appalling.

(!) TikTok took down my basic video saying:

1. Harming civilians is bad
2. Many politicians + companies saying #1 haven’t said the same about Israel abusing Palestinians for years
3. Pro-peace means standing against today’s violence, and the occupation too

Anyone hearing of similar experiences?

以色列的资本家们也和右翼政府达成了一种”默契“，以极低的工资雇佣那些失去了土地却也没有以色列公民权的巴勒斯坦人，把他们作为廉价的奴工使用。以色列对于巴勒斯坦人所做的事情，几乎与中国对维吾尔人所做的事情别无二致，许多中文圈”民主人士“竟然还能恬不知耻地坚持说”支持民主文明的以色列“。

简单提醒一下大家：跨权即人权，激女不女权。

Just a quick reminder: Trans rights are human rights, while RadFems are NOT feminists.

Some statistics from last night's Republican debate. We counted:

87 racisms
9 homophobias
13 transphobias
22 sexisms
5 counts of mentioning Arkansas
1 (one) attack on the Eastern European Orthodox Church

We must come to realize that political democracy, economic equality and cultrual plurality are naturally intersectional and we can not afford to fall short in any of them. Every resistent movement in China must actively support each other, consolidating under the banner of leftist progressivism.

A major issue of the various Chinese resistence movements is the split of the political, economic and cultural dimensions, with liberals who demonize workers and objectify women, tankies who endorse authoritarianism and belittle feminism, radfems who support the CCP and vilify the impoverished, etc.

中国“反贼”圈子普遍存在的一个严重问题，在于政治、经济、文化维度间的割裂：我们有太多仇视工农、物化女性的高华自由派，有太多崇尚威权、贬低女权的马列左壬，有太多拥护中共、歧视底层的粉红新自激女……我们必须意识到，政治民主、经济平等与文化多元是紧密交叉、相辅相成、缺一不可的，我们的一切反抗力量都应当积极地彼此策应，团结到左翼进步主义的大旗下。

Tucker Carlson’s Media Venture May Be Coming Into Some Major Peter Thiel Cash: Report Rebekah Mercer, the billionaire mega-donor once described as “the most powerful woman in GOP politics,” has also reportedly expressed interest.

right wing propagandists see no limit of billionaire support, while actual american beat journalists subsist on wooden nickels and pocket lint

For the First Time, VFX Workers Vote to Unionize at Marvel On Monday, a group of more than 50 on-set employees filed a petition for an election to be represented by IATSE.

BREAKING: Visual Effects (VFX) workers at Marvel have filed for a union election with the National Labor Relations Board.

If they’re successful they’ll be the first visual effects professionals to unionize.

Chinese radfems may justify themselves by claiming “we are simply too far behind”. This is no different than pinkies rejecting liberal democracy by claiming “it isn’t in line with China’s conditions”. Yes, Chinese feminism is too far behind, of which the proliferation of radfem is one manifestation.

Radical feminism is definitely NOT a phase Chinese feminism must go through. In fact, Chinese feminists can and must wholeheartedly embrace intersectionality.

激进女权绝非中国女权必须经历的一个阶段，中国女权不仅可以也必须全面拥抱交叉性。某些激女拿着“中国女权落后”来正当化自己，跟粉红拿着“中国国情”拒斥自由民主的丑态别无二致——中国女权确实落后，而激女的泛滥恰恰是这种落后性的一部分。

Honor and remember through action and persistence.

Anti-Trans Moral Panics Endanger All Young People Moral panics aimed against trans people are both attacks on that community and part of a broader strategy to control youth across the U.S.

Moral panics are ridiculous in retrospect—satanic abuse, rap music, comic books?—but they're ridiculously dangerous at their peak. The transphobia moral panic is one of the most dangerous in our lifetimes https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/anti-trans-moral-panics-endanger-all-young-people/

Actually, ChatGPT wouldn't have made such a stupid mistake.

Screw freedom of speech fundamentalism. Censor every single hate speech. Block every single bigot. If some people consider this authoritarian, so be it!

California State SD3 candidate, Jackie Elward with her fist up at a strike for healthcare workers in Santa Rosa, CA. In the picture are two other Teamsters posing with her. Jackie and Taylor are holding signs saying "withholding our pay is not OK" and "fighting two viruses: covid and corporate greed"

📣 Can you chip in $3 today to help my wife, Jackie Elward, in her CA State Senate race?

This month we have to raise 100k. Imagine if every person reading this made the small donation of $3 - we could easily meet that goal.

We must not allow those in power (dictators, capitalists, etc.), who are now in control of very large AI models, to overhype the danger of AI itself so as to distract us from their wrongdoings. It is not the AI that's trying to destroy us, it's those bad actors among us. (2/2)

On the risk of AI: While we need to take the risk of "AI out of human control" seriously, at least for now, the main challenge we are facing is not "AI vs humanity", but classic "intra-humanity" issues on class, gender, race, etc., with AI as a new agent by which these issues are exhibited. (1/2)

关于AI的风险：鉴于AI技术的爆发性发展，我们确实要警惕AI完全脱离人类控制的风险。但是至少在现阶段，我们面临的主要挑战不是”AI vs 人类“，而是经典的人类内部矛盾（阶级、性别、种族……）的延续，AI不过是旧战争的新战场与新武器罢了。我们应当特别警惕独裁者、资本家等特权者——他们正是掌握着大规模AI模型的人 ——将AI过度拟人化，通过大肆渲染后者的威胁来将其作为自身恶行的替罪羊。

This is genocide. Period.

Stopping Asian American Hate Stemming From the COVID-19 Pandemic There is much work to be done in eradicating Asian American hate.

Our communities saw the destruction and the devastation of two pandemics. Covid-19 and rampant anti-asian hate. Eric Feigl-Ding and Victor Shi and I wrote a little about what our communities went through.

I’m doing my part

To those who place decency over policy: You can tolerate capitalists exploiting the workers, TERFs spreading hatred towards trans people, white people discriminating against black people…but you can’t stand other people calling the oppressors names? WTF?
